Elmo and Cookie Monster are heading to Netflix.
The streaming giant has reached an agreement to broadcast new episodes of "Sesame Street," giving the beloved children's show a home after Warner Bros. Discovery said it was stepping away from the program.
The agreement, which begins with the upcoming 56th season, includes 90 hours of previous episodes.
Sesame Workshop said new episodes will also air on PBS stations and PBS Kids the same day they debut on Netflix. PBS has broadcast "Sesame Street" for over 50 years.
The deal serves "as a unique public-private partnership to enable 'Sesame Street' to continue to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder," Sesame Workshop said.
Warner Bros. Discovery said in December it wouldn't renew its deal with Sesame Workshop to air new episodes of "Sesame Street." The show began airing on HBO in 2016, before moving to HBO's streaming service in 2020.
Updates to follow as news develops.
